Thanks Joe, I really like the lighting of this end-of-the-afternoon mosaic.
Here is a mosaic of MC34 pictures showing really thin rocks and furrows near Curiosity's wheels (sols 603 to 606):

Per Ken Herkenhoff's latest update http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/news/astrogeo...post-drive-data ... Target identified!
QUOTE Later in the day, the rover planners and scientists discussed the drill options, and selected a flat outcrop about 4 meters away, shown in the upper right part of this image.  . Left mastcam with a little more context

been enjoying all these little 'Recurring Slope Linea'-seed sand-slides we've been seeing around the Kimberly lately, especially how the cohesive (mechanically dust-locked or..?) top layer moves in small increments as the load piles up. must be seasonal as they all seem to be in a much similar state in their progress. here's a sol606 m34/100 crosseye

Thanks a lot for posting that, atomoid. I'd been hoping someone would check into this. A while ago Herkenhoff suggested that they were due to rover-induced vibration. But your image pair seem to argue against that.
It would be interesting to see any other distant/near pairs, whether they show no change or do show a change. |
